check the cap, thermostat and fans. Start by checking the cap.

caps should not be expensive at all. Not sure about how much they cost. Before you by one try to take a cap off another car and check if it helps.

a cap should be 500-600 bucks...defa under a 1000.

also another little thing to check is if there are air bubbles can be seen popping up in the radiator opening when the engine is running. can be a leaky head gasket too...

if its overheating for a 2km run, I would first look at water fan than the radiator assuming your thermostat valve is not in place (since it's a CR26 and chances of local mechanics mucked up the thermostat valve are high ). If it's there, check for a possible blocked thermostat valve.
